This is a nice little 2"
Humboldt probably from Nevada. What I really like
about this point is how well it shows true
transverse flaking, where the flakes run from one
edge clear across the face of the blade. I
frequently see points labeled as oblique
transverse but few are truely transverse. The
material in this one really helps to show the
flaking. |

This is my favorite oddity I
picked up at the Temple show 2008. It is a 3/4"
long miniFolsom made of Elizabethan Petrified
Wood. Probably found in Northern New Mexico or
Colorado. I believe this was made off a channel
flake. |
